[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 341858, member: 1233"] We are NEVER too busy to hear whatever is going on with you and Evie adn the family!! NEVER!!! I am sorry she is having these problems. My darling husband has a sister 11 months younger than he is. They both spoke at the same time. He didn't have a NEED to speak until she was getting HIS cereal and cookies, etc... Quite literally, my mother in law was giving sister in law food first because sister in law asked for it. Then husband saw this and started speaking. In full sentences. It was very strange according to father in law. One of Jessie's friends has a little sib that has been "slow" to develop. Mom leaves child in older sib's care a lot, and sib gets yelled at if the baby is crying. So baby does not NEED to cry to get stuff. with-O frustration there is no need for a baby to work on developing new skills. This is exactly what the doctor said. Get used to her crying, stop punishing big sis if she cries, and stop giving the little one everything she wants immediately. Little one had to ask for things, or try to get them herself before they could give them to her. You know, maybe this is a reminder for our older kids. As babies they has to get upset and frustrated to learn to talk, to walk, to crawl, etc.... They get older and we don't want to deal with a mess so we fix the cereal or the drink or whatever. We drive them because it is quicker than letting them walk or bike. But we need to let THEM figure out how to do things because that is how they will learn and grow. At least I need to think about this re: thank you. I hope Evie moves past this stage soon! [/QUOTE]
